- Leeds was the place to be on the 23rd August for The Leeds City Transport's 2nd Vintage Bus Running Day. A variety of buses operated a 15 minute service over two routes.
Route 46 was Leeds Industrial Museum, Armley to Thwaite Mills, Hunslet, via the City centre, and Route 26 was Middleton Railway to Kirkstall Abbey, via the City Centre, This is only the second LCT Running Day, Which is hard to believe as it is so well organised even with the addition of a second route. This is an excellent event for both Bus enthusiast and casual visitor alike.
Many Thanks to everyone involved for a well organised, friendly and thoroughly enjoyable event.

Does anyone else remember the separate driver’s cab on the number 1 route with the oldest buses on display here, and the struggle of the driver to get round the policeman on point duty outside the PDSA at the beginning of what was then the start of Beeston Road. And no one-handed power steering, it was a two handed task and required muscle. And then later having to change down as it struggled up Beeston Hill? Those were the days.
Another sunny day for,you and a Great Video, Tommy.
+Clifford Baron Thanks Cliff,Glad you enjoyed the video. Managed to get good weather even though Alan was there
Excellent video, great to relive such a memorable event once again, and good to see it having established itself so quickly, and become popular with both enthusiasts and the general public.
+windypics photography Thanks Alan.Yes it has quickly established itself as a ' Must go to ' event in any enthusiasts calendar.
haven't commented on this one yet, I must rectify that. No disrespect to Leeds, but I didn't know there were so many nice locations. That Mercedes single deck (I think) @ 6:45 sounded good.
I like the coffee cup wedged underneath the sign saying "The consumption of food and drink is prohibited" at 10:09 :D
+AndreiTupolev Wow I never noticed that coffee cup under the the the sign.Think I need a pair of glasses.
Thank you so much for posting, I had to miss the event but will catch the next. Love those green half-cabs.
+Jo Gon I hope you make it to the next event,I'm sure you will enjoy it.
How to you go on those busses
Just board the bus outside the bus station in the city centre travel. Just check when the next Running Day is.
Where do i get a MetroBus tie as worn at 10.30? Thanks.
Not 100% sure but you could try the Keighley Bus Museum.
